Tati Gabrielle has a grudge against Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Sabrina the Teenage Witch is going to have a lot of adversaries to deal with on Netflix's upcoming dark reboot of the Archie Comics property. The villain characters (they sound like villains to me, anyway) already announced include Michelle Gomez as Sabrina's teacher Mary Wardell, who becomes possessed by the devil's handmaiden Madam Satan; Richard Coyle as Father Blackwood, High Priest of the Church of Night and Dean of the Academy of the Unseen Arts, a man with a "terrifying dark agenda"; and Bronson Pinchot as Baxter High's villainous puritanical principal George Hawthorne. A character description that includes the word "villainous" is a strong sign of villainy.

Now the list of baddies has expanded to include the character Prudence, "a student at the Academy of Unseen Arts and the de facto leader of a trio of witches known as the Weird Sisters. Beautiful and cunning, Prudence nurses a deep, personal, and possibly life-threatening grudge against Sabrina." Prudence will be played by Tati Gabrielle, who has a recurring role on the CW series The 100.

Kiernan Shipka is playing Sabrina herself on the new series, which will find her 

wrestling to reconcile her dual nature as a half-witch, half-mortal, while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit. 

Sabrina Spellman is described as an empowered young woman — half-human, half-witch — who is just beginning her dark education as a sorceress, even as she tries to maintain a normal life as a sophomore at Baxter High. Intelligent, compassionate and brave to the point of recklessness, Sabrina is all that stands between us and the forces of darkness that threaten our world.

Also in the cast are Miranda Otto as Sabrina's disciplinarian aunt Zelda, Lucy Davis as her nurturing aunt Hilda, Jaz Sinclair as her best friend Rosalind Walker, Chance Perdomo as her warlock cousin Ambrose, and Ross Lynch as her love interest Harvey Kinkle.

This new series is said to be tonally in the vein of ROSEMARY'S BABY and THE EXORCIST. Netflix has ordered 2 seasons of it, each consisting of 10 episodes.
